Could be a dead mobo, or could be that it's shorting out against the case.
Has he moved, kicked, or otherwise disturbed the computer recently?

Nope, sits undisturbed under the desk (away from feet) until it needs hoovering etc

Has he checked that the motherboard power connectors are firmly in place? If they are, I would suspect the motherboard but, not having access to it, it's impossible to say for sure.
I had exactly the same a while back on one of my machines - fans jiggled a bit on power up but nothing else but I can't for the life of me remember whether it was the motherboard or the PSU ![]()
